Hey,
So two days ago, I started going out with this guy. He's seriously the sweetest guy I've ever met in my life. Oh and one small detail: He was my best friend before we started going out.
But now he's really shy around me. He won't say hi to me in the halls and doesn't make eye contact. When it's just us on the phone, he has trouble saying how he feels. This is his first relationship, and I don't know how to talk to him about how he feels since he can't say his feelings directly. What do you think?

Just make yourself talk to him, start out with "Hey, how are you?" then just talk to him like you used to talk to him. Once you get things flowing, he should realize things aren't totally different and he should relax around you.
Also, you're gona have to make the first move, such as hugging him goodbye. This will let him know that you are really into him and you want things to be comfortable and relaxed.
This may take time, give him atleast a week before you bring it up if you want to talk to him about it. If you do decide to talk to him, say "Hey, whats happened? We barely talk and I really miss that, is there something wrong" Don't start to blame him and make him feel pressured.
